Sorry, that was poorly worded. apt-listchanges is not displaying the relevant items in NEWS.Debian. The file itself is there. > > > I think all packages with the > > same source need the sames Debian NEWS and changes files.

I think the question is whether apt-listchanges supports it. apt-listchanges tries to avoid displaying a NEWS or changes item more than once, and it appears to me it does so by tracking a high-water mark based on the source package. Even if it doesn't, it doesn't seem to cope with different binary packages having different NEWS when they share the same source. I believe that all binary packages from the same source have the same changelog.Debian (that's the case for exim, as far as I can tell), and that apt-listchanges expects the NEWS.Debian to be common too. This is a bit awkward when the NEWS is relevant only to one binary package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
